This is the reality of TV production folks.

Episodes are shot far in advance, hence A&E has a slate of already recorded episodes featuring Robertson that they are pretty much obligated to air, largely due to the ratings the show brings in and the deals they have with advertisers who want those ratings.

Realistically, the first non Phil episodes couldn’t begin filming and airing for awhile at which point this outrage will have probably died out. If it somehow keeps going, then you might see more notable action.

Unfortunately, I think the existing contracts have A&E’s hands tied at the moment.
